Morrissey

  Morrissey, an avid vegetarian who's 2nd album with the Smiths was titled Meat Is Murder, took a stand at the Wireless festival in London last week.  During his performance, he told the audience he could smell the meat across the stage.  And this was after the singer tried to ban meat from the backstage area where he had hung posters of the Meat Is Murder album cover.  But, the Rascals, living up to their name, defaced the posters with glee.  The boys drew loads of hambu...

London's 02 Wireless Festival For his 4th of July headlining performance, Morrissey promised: "I will take Hyde Park like a flea inhabits a dog. Art-hounds and people with badly cut hair are very welcome." He didn't dissappoint......
In the center of the city, surrounded by the posh, well-trimmed terrains of Knightsbridge and Kensington, et al, the Wireless Festival is one of the more tame and "civilized" of Festivals (i.e. no acid heads/nitrogen/vomit pools in sight... MORE

  "We live in the mind, in ideas, in fragments. We no longer drink in the wild outer music of the streets- we remember only." -Henry Miller
So here goes folks. I posted a while back about what festivals are worth traveling to in Europe. As you Euros all gave amazing tips- and I got inspired.
I've decided to embark on a petit tour/adventure/music-infused beatnik odyssey from July 4th till July 23rd. With a little luck, creative karma & street smarts, I hope to capture ... MORE

Does it get any more wistful than this? As far as Morrissey joints go, I guess this has always been one of the more cheerful ones. I'm a bo-legged dude, and most bo-legged people I know are pretty cheerful people. But Morrissey is not. But then again, I don't know him and maybe the bo-leggedness he's displaying in this video is a crafty illusion. They look like they might break out switchblades and knife chase him around the building. He looks like he might be t... MORE

Morrissey is suing British music magazine NME for defamation, claiming the publication twisted his words in a recent interview to make him appear racist. Morrissey was quoted by the magazine as saying he would no longer live in Britain because an "immigration explosion" was stripping his native land of its identity. "The gates are flooded, and anybody can have access to England and join in," he reportedly said. "Other countries have held on to their basic identity ye... MORE

I saw this a while ago on Morrissey-solo.com. The song reminds me of his work from "Your Arsenal". Now the question is can he put together a proper CD in 2008?

I think anyone who has had a long term relationship that didn't work out can relate to this song, it can be hard not to loose your identity and spark when you're with someone for a long time, especially if you're young and naive...
